SLAM, KNIGHT, M.D. This is an elaborate and though painfid, an inte resting treatise. It professes to analyse the origin and progress of a deranged mind, to prescribe a mode of cure, and, what is still more important, to prove from long practical experience th a t i nsan i ty chiefly owes its origin to some peculiar physical organization, or rather we should. say, disorganization. Thisis a satisfactory conclusion to arrive at ; and being founded on the personal observations of the writer is entitled to con. sufferable weight. Nothing, ind ee d, i s so acu t e ly • agoni • . zing to a mind of any sensibility, as the idea that lunacy is comilitutional, that it creeps on in its blighting influence,' front father to con ' ; thereiiing in power through each successive generation, till having reached a tremendous climax, it becomes finally ex tinct in the person of some devoted maniacal descen dant. Yet this is a prevailing notion, and has mildewed in its early blossoming the' life of many en individual ; 'has rendered him a joyless outcast— turned his springing hopes to gloom,--poisoned the pure fountain of his feelings, and finally sent him down' unto= his grave, abandoned of God and men. To 'minds thus seared and blighted, but to wham one little gleam of reason, like a well-spring in the desert, yet remains, we recommend, nay, we entreat, an atten tive perusal of this dissertation ; it will prove to them cautiously, yet convincingly, that insanity, so far from being hereditary, is physical ; that it has a nervous rather than a mental origin, and is in_ fact as purely corporeal as rheumatism, epilepsy, ague, paralysis, or any similar disorder. It is not our province in this neces sarily:confined criticism to thread Mr. Knight's disserta tion ; enough to say, that it « makes assurance doubly sure,"-and as if assertion (though founded on long practice) were of itself' insufficient to produce conviction, concludes with an account of a deranged mind penned • by the victim himself after his final restoration to sense. From this singularly impressive doctunent we select the following extract, not so much to corroborate our previous assertion, as to show the thrilling power of i i !liti t ginar tion, which a deran ge d i nte ll ect p os4es ses, a n d guided by, corresponding judgment, would form the staple of a first-rate poet. Lunacy, indeed, is at all times grand— , -it is idiotism only that degrades human nature. No one looks down upon the madman'; ,but all condeacendingly cominiserate the idiot. 'r he, one is ntjestie,,thotigh in - ruin ;:the other, simplydiegust ing. But now for our extract, which surpasses even the most fearful vision of -that paragon of dreaming imaginative opium eaters, De Quincy. The victim himself, it - mtist be premised, is describing his own sensations (from recollection) when a lunatic They placed the table near me; and on it placed a pillow, on which I might recline my arm, around me sat some scholars who seemed to jeer and to talk silently against me; to crack nuts, and laugh, so that I really believed I , bad assumed the face of a pig. When night approached, methought I heard a dismal howl ins in the mart, of soinebody boried alive; I thought this was my body, and my spirit. howled in the air---Hu I th oug ht! m y blood freeze& with horror and fear: I asked the cause of thicsad clamour, " i "thevreis none, dear, none:' answered the attendant. I called him over, and whispered in his ear somethi ng a b out b e i ng removed to another apartment, he said "perhaps you are ashamed, dear." I then thought "surely I em a pig," he took me to an other room, and put me to bed ; and I cannot describe what hor ror came upon me: I thought blood fall from h e av e n on m y bed —1 startled —then laid down---then startled again --I thought a nail dropt from the Redeemer's hand--.my GOd ! how alarmed I was !! ! I then fell into a sleep—an interval came after this, I t ' at another mo m e n t I t h o ught years e t a ti t i n e r e t h h at a l n e w ha e t2 re ged au i y ts u c e o re u course, and were seven or eight time stood still, a few days Advancing, I believed ii4seelf to -be one of the three Divine Persons of the Sacred Trinity, and I thought I must die for man.

This • case j A ca c n K t s e " be i. f'o r°evT irs ll4lra fo T u c t .l4 u p po ° l l : ll e it x ß eeptions to the Master's report; The following is a brief outline of the facts:— On the night of the third of March, 180, an elderly gentle. man, named. Parker, and his housekeeper, Sarah Brow* were murdered in their house at 'Woolwich. Mr. Jackson, the plaintiff, a relation of Mr. P ar k er , o ff ere d 150 guineas for the apprehension of the murderer. A reward of 100/. was also offi.red by the pa rish ; and handbills, stating the circumstances, were circulated through the country. Ridout, the high constable of Woolnieb, who is one of the defendants, subsequently published handbills, describing some of the stolen property, and had advertisements to the swoe affect inserted in the newspapers, all it his own_ expence. Itia . suspicion having fallen u p on a m an o f b a d character,' win> had lived in the neighbourhood, of the name of Nesbit, he immediately proceeded in search of him to different parts of the country. In the mean time Ovelington, another of the defendants, who resided at Portsmouth, and whose attention had been called to the trans action 1w the handbills and advertisements, learned from a man. of the name, of Alley, and his wife, some Particulars connected with the conduct of Nesbit, who lodged in their house under the as sumed name of Watson, which raised strong suspicion iu his mind that Nesbit was the perpetrator of the murder. Alley and his wife having declined all interference in the busineits, Overing ton went before a Magistrate, who, upon his information, granted a wet tent against Nesbit, which Overington had placed' in, the hands of the other two defendants, Hunt and Hill, peace officers at Portsmouth, cautioning them at- the same time that Nesbit was a man who bore a desperate character, and was underatood to go abourcOnstantly armed, his occupation tieing well known to he that of a smuggler. The offeeti, after some difficulty, suc ceeded in finding Nesbit, whom, after he bad first snapped two pistOls at then, each of which Missed fire, they overpowered and took him into custody. , Ile was exansined before a Magistrate, at Portsmouth, and Ridout having arrived in that town, and identi fied mouse of Mr. Parker's Of-Spent , in his pOrression, the pri soner 'was committed for trial, and ultimately convicted: A (met tion then arose as to who were entitled to the rewards, to which earls of the four defendants put ill a'cleim Ridout, Hunt, and Hill, were willing the money should lie divided equally amongst th e m all, but Overington insisted on his right to the whole, anti commenced •an action for its' recovery against Mr. Jackson, who thereupon tiled u bill .of irsterpleader in the Court of Chancery, for the purpose of ascertaining who were the parties to whom the reward which he had of was due. The plain tiff hiving obtained an injunction to restrain the defendant five ringtmt from proceediug , with his action, • and paid the limey into Court, the .Lord Chancellor, by the consent of all parties, referred the case to the Master, and directed the plaintifttO be paid his costs out of the fund in. Court, which costs, amounting to WO., he accordingly received. -The Master reported, • that Overington was entitled to the whole of the reward, and Ridout excepted to the report. The other two defendants Were too poor to proceed any farther, and therefore did not except. The exceptions having now come on for argument before the Vice-Chanceller,•he was clearly. of opinion that ''Ridout was en titled to an equal participation in the reward, Overingtou having admitted. that his utteutiou had been first arrested by the hand-hills and advertisements. The exceptions were theretiat allowed. A long discussion then arose upon the subject of cods, 4u the course of which it waft stated that Mr. Jackson having received his costs out of the fund in Court, the residue nf it would Got cover a third of those of the other parties. . His Humuot ultimately directed the fund to he appropriated equally to the casts of the four defendants. COUR'Is (IF KING'S BENCH, WrsnimsTEA, Dec. lb. BICKINGHOTHABI V. GROV73 AND OTHICK.I. This WAS an action of trespass, bought by the plaintiff, to re cover a cotnpeusation in damages from the defendants, David Groves, George Sherborn, Samuel Hodgson, Edward Spreehley, Charles Judson, Samuel Cook, Joseph Humber, Thotnas Humber, Joseph Husband, and Jesse Cole, for forcibly entering the plain_ tiff's house, and carrying away the furniture thereof. The de fendants had pleaded the general issue. From the statement of Learned Counsel (Mr. Searlett), it appeared that the plaintiff being inclined to retire from business in October, IS demised by lease to the defendant Hodgson the hotel, for a term of 14, years, at a rent of 4001, per annum, clear from all deductions, and by another lease of the same date, de utieed to him all the furniture •in the hotel, at the rent of 6001. per annum, Hodgson at the same time agteeing to pay the sum of 8,000/. for the good-will, the• payment of which Was • secured by warrant of attorney. The lesser -wee to•be at liberty to purchase the furniture before December, 1.821, for 6,000/., or any whit. , intent year during the term, deducting from. that • slim 5001. per annum . Roth leases contained a clause, stipulating that in cats the defendant llodesOu should sign any judgment or be declared a bankrupt, the leases should he thereby thrfeited, and the plaintiff entitled to re-enter and take possession of the whole of the raises thereby dismissed, in the same manner us if the leases had never :existed. tinder these leases Hodgson took possession in October,, 1820, and continued to carry on the business till the early part of 1628 ; when becoming embarrassed, and hoeing committed an act of bankruptcy, the plaintiff demanded from hint possession of ,the premises. Hodgson mil - pied to give them up, and the plaintiff having obtained a verdict against him itt an action of ejectment, on the 18th of mune, wan put in possesainu of the premises by the Sheriff; by virtue tif a writ of possession. During the•proceedings in the ejectment, a ronimission..ofbankrtiptey had been sued against Hodgson, dated the 81st of March, 1823; acid the messengers under that commission were turned nut of •posses sion of the hotel and property therein, when the plaintiff received possession frout the Sheriff on the 18th of June. On the 16th, three days after the trespass complained of •by the - plaintiff was committed, the defendants came to • the premises, and having de.- mended and been refused admission, broke the street door open, and with 40 or 50 men cleared the plaintiff's house of the whole of the furniture. THE LORD CIIIEF-JUSTICE observed that as a 'verdict most be given for the plaintiff foe the treApatii that lead !wen committed, was very important to ascertain who were present at the time..._. As no evidence has been offered against S' yeehley and Husband, those two defendants were entitled to their verdict. A verdict was tht4l accn►dingly- taken for the defendants Sprechley and Nnaband._ His Coe own. in r4itinuatiots then stated, that the other de fendants were certainly proved to have entered the house by force, but they bad previously demanded admittance, by virtue of the cottrinieSion of bankruptcy, anti one of the defendants, Holoher, had been under that commission in Possession. When the pisi tig obtained possession by means Of the judgment in ejectment, that jndgment would apply to the house only, and the defendants therefore emrsidereil that the property of those goods was vested in them its assignees. If the jury should be of opinion that Hodgson had, in the eyes of the world, been in polaseasion of the property in question as the reputed owner . , the plaintiff wemid not be*ntltled to any demages, on account of the removal of that property. If they were of a contrary opinion, they would give bim such a sum as it appeared from tit evidence we., the difference between the amount the goodi sold for; and the !MU they would have been worth to an in .cotning t enan t. The Jury, after an absence of an hour, retu rn ed w i t h a ver dict for the plaintiff—Arara g .,, therel:y finding thatthe reputed ownership of the goc.ds was in the defendant Hodgson. THE KING v.
